Check: CAGW-GW-000190
CA API Gateway ALG STIG:
CAGW-GW-000190
(in versions v1 r2 through v1 r1)
Title
The CA API Gateway that provides intermediary services for TLS must be configured to comply with the required TLS settings in NIST SP 800-52. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
SP 800-52 provides guidance on using the most secure version and configuration of the TLS/SSL protocol. Using older unauthorized versions or incorrectly configuring protocol negotiation makes the Gateway vulnerable to known and unknown attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in this protocol. SP 800-52 sets TLS version 1.1 as a minimum version; thus, all versions of SSL are not allowed (including for client negotiation) on either DoD-only or public-facing servers. The CA API Gateway must be configured to use FIPS-140 cryptographic algorithms to meet the NIST SP 800-52 TLS settings.
Check Content
Open the CA API Gateway - Policy Manager. Select "Manage Cluster-Wide Properties" from the "Tasks" menu. If the "security.fips.enabled" property is not listed or is set to false, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Open the CA API Gateway - Policy Manager. Select "Manage Cluster-Wide Properties" from the "Tasks" menu. Click "Add" and select "security.fips.enabled" from the "Key:" drop-down list. Set the value to "true" and click "OK".
